Josh Belknap (presenter), identified in the meeting as the city’s stormwater staff, said the updates add additional best-management practices for construction, memorialize a shift to county-level in-person training for contractors, and reflect recent legislative changes that affect enforcement.

Staff and several council members criticized a recent legislative rollback of the city’s ability to issue stop-work orders on construction sites for stormwater violations. Belknap said the legislature initially removed municipal fines in favor of stop-work orders, then reversed course and removed stop-work authority and required fines instead. \"The fines are dictated by the state,\" Belknap said, and he added that state law also restricts the use of collected fines to education and outreach related to stormwater.

Council members voiced concern that the statutory fines can be large and that the city has less direct control over enforcement tools. Belknap and legal staff (including Bill Knapp and city attorney staff) said the city plans an escalating-enforcement approach that begins with communication and education, then moves to administrative tickets and possible fines only when necessary. Staff are developing a physical ticket book and an internal review process so property owners and contractors can contest enforcement actions.

Belknap described the stormwater inspector’s role as a full-time position that checks construction sites and the public system; he gave an example of a landscaping contractor blocking Hill Street with dirt and boulders, which the inspector resolved through on-site coordination and short timelines rather than immediate punitive action.

The council voted to adopt the updated stormwater management plan. Staff said they will continue to emphasize outreach and training to avoid fines and rely on enforcement as a last resort. The update takes effect immediately and is intended to keep the city in compliance with the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and recent state statute changes affecting stormwater permitting and enforcement.","Kaysville approved updates to its stormwater management plan to align with state DEQ requirements and legislative changes.

City staff presented the location and zoning context, noting the parcel abuts existing single-family neighborhoods and that the city’s future land-use map identified the area for single-family use. The planning commission held a public hearing on Aug. 28 and recommended approval by a 7–0 vote.

An applicant representative, identified as Trent, said the proposed lots would be roughly 14,000 square feet each and the homes would be roughly 3,000–4,500 square feet. He said the development would likely access Grassy Plain Drive and that a future connection to Preston Street is a long-term planning possibility; the owners (referred to as the Wilsons) intend to retain the remainder of their property in agricultural greenbelt.

Council members asked about lot sizes, home sizes and future connectivity; council discussion was brief. A motion to approve the rezone carried without recorded objection.

The council’s approval allows the applicant to proceed with subdivision and building-permit steps under R-114 standards; specific lot layouts, house designs and any road connections will be subject to subsequent permit review and applicable standards.","The council approved rezoning of a 1.62-acre parcel at 2053 West Grassy Plain Drive from general commercial to R-114 to permit four large single-family lots; the planning commission had recommended approval 7–0.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6467411,"Kaysville community development director reports steady licensing revenue, slows in permits; cites water-element grant and code-enforcement gains",1160,756000,1916000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5796889-27bd8e98c67e57e2ca641fc40079f6f5&start=756&end=1916","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5796889-27bd8e98c67e57e2ca641fc40079f6f5/thumbnail_756000.jpg","/articles/6467411/Kaysville/Davis-County/Utah/Kaysville-community-development-director-reports-steady-licensing-revenue-slows-in-permits-cites-water-element-grant-and-code-enforcement-gains","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467411-0c814416bdab62723b14536a970d4a5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763379&Signature=TkBcFlYefoHpAkyi4P5iLHjmCHenPFjAahX~t3goMjkxTzC95xWdrsEb3sSnllczjVp1vcKgwaZ91j3KRiCLPje6POw5QkZFYIKe7NUxs0uhpjtWPVD2aRDk4JPcaWDdhYuisYL1UmgVdM9CPaWyKn8Ey1TN~bHTGshOMRjcEgGHiFCRDkwiCk~0~1PvJXjRSYYSQ3eSQCBVuKQqowAlP52kHseGkzuM~X0rlMkbYd8AU2nsfy5XaABv7xHJzC45bszUE~MyMkqklR6MzHoBBqRmr1kLo1Lk4uFZ0ee8HAVfLVvOEi1Cg-IaCEXGCVcH87XDe0pU-gGpNJRF-c78mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Melinda Greenwood, Kaysville’s director of community development, told the City Council the department’s four divisions — building, business licensing, planning and zoning, and code enforcement — produced stable revenue and a mix of enforcement and planning work in the past year.

The overview said business-license revenue has been “a very steady income stream,” typically around $75,000–$80,000. Greenwood reported a combined departmental revenue figure in the packet described as $591,002,295 for fiscal year 2025. Greenwood said permit activity has declined since 2020–21 but the city is on track for permitting volumes similar to recent years.

Greenwood said most permits continue to be residential; year-to-date counts included 36 commercial-related permits (including sign permits and tenant improvements) and 51 single-family/town-home permits. She noted larger projects recently started, including Flint Acres north of Smith’s Marketplace and a new LDS stake center, and said the department issued about eight permits for Flint Acres so far.

The department is recruiting for an open inspector position. Greenwood credited permit technicians Becky and April with administrative work this year, including reviewing older expired permits and resolving completion bonds. She described a targeted review of pool permits issued since 2016 that found five permitted pools lacking the zoning-required five-foot safety barrier; staff followed up to require fences.

On business support, Greenwood described a monthly networking and support meeting run by business-licensing staffer Mindy. The business-support group and outreach efforts have helped keep the city’s licensed-business count around 1,100 and increase participation in recent months.

On planning, Greenwood said the department processed about 40 applications this year (up from 32 the prior year) and continues work on a small-area plan for the city center (Main Street/200 North). She said the city expects to slow that small-area plan timeline and now anticipates adoption in February rather than by year-end.

Greenwood said the state legislature required cities to add a water-conservation element to their general plans; Kaysville obtained a state grant of about $15,000 to prepare that element. The city intends to present the water element to the planning commission in November and to the council in December for adoption.

On code enforcement, Greenwood described proactive outreach this year — staff mailed about 65 notices to property owners with prior weed cases and said weed cases dropped by roughly half after that outreach. She summarized common complaints (weeds, unregistered vehicles, junk/debris, rooster complaints) and described the department’s escalating approach: an initial verification and courtesy contact, a two-week cure period, then additional notices and, when necessary, coordination with legal staff for citations and court action.

Greenwood said the department tries to coordinate with other departments when needed (police for illegal parking, public works for sidewalks or illicit discharge, fire for some enforcement items, and county health or animal services when applicable). She said the department handled about seven or eight short-term rental complaints this year and seeks voluntary compliance where possible to avoid displacing tenants.

Greenwood closed by noting additional statistics were included in the meeting packet for those who want more detail.

The council did not take action on the report; Greenwood answered questions from council members about staffing, timelines, and code-enforcement processes.","Director Melinda Greenwood told the Kaysville City Council that building permits remain lower than pandemic peaks, business-license revenue is steady, and the department won a state grant to add a water-conservation element to the general plan.","actionData","errors"]
